Four simple harmonic vibrations:
$y_1 = 8 \cos(\omega t)$;
$y_2 = 4 \cos(\omega t + \frac{\pi}{2})$;
$y_3 = 2 \cos(\omega t + \pi)$;
$y_4 = 1 \cos(\omega t + \frac{3\pi}{2})$,
are superposed on each other. The resulting amplitude and phase are respectively:

  • A
    $\sqrt{45}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/2)$
  • B
    $\sqrt{45}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$
  • C
    $\sqrt{75}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/2)$
  • D
    $\sqrt{75}$ and $\tan^{-1}(1/3)$

Two particles execute simple harmonic motion along the same straight line with the same amplitude and same frequency. The two particles pass one another when moving in opposite directions each time at a distance of $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ times the amplitude from their common mean position.

Two particles are performing simple harmonic motion in a straight line about the same equilibrium point. The amplitude and time period for both particles are same and equal to $A$ and $T$,respectively. At time $t=0$,one particle has displacement $A$ while the other one has displacement $\frac{-A}{2}$ and they are moving towards each other. If they cross each other at time $t$,then $t$ is
